Summer Ceremony: Cacao, Dance & Sound

In August, something special begins. For the first time, Mateusz and Celestine will co-create an offering together - guiding a journey of cacao, movement, and sound. A blend of our worlds. Expect cacao to open your senses, music to move your body, and sound to soften your mind. We start with ceremonial cacao and landing together in a circle. Cacao has been used for centuries as a heart-opening plant medicine to soften the mind, open the heart, and deepen the connection to what’s alive within. Cacao is a natural plant that contains theobromine, a mild cardiovascular stimulant that increases blood flow and creates gentle, focused energy without the crash of caffeine. It also contains natural mood-enhancers like PEA and anandamide, which support emotional openness and well-being. In other words: cacao isn’t just comforting — it biochemically supports states of connection, presence, and emotional clarity. After opening with cacao, we’ll move into guided movement and free dance - a space where your body leads the way. No choreography, no right or wrong. Just breath, rhythm, and your own natural expression. This is a chance to shake off tension, awaken your energy, and reconnect with your body in a way that feels intuitive and free. Following the dance, you are invited to lay down, relax and immerse yourself in a soothing sound journey featuring flutes, didgeridoo, singing bowls, gongs, and other instruments. These sacred sounds will guide you into the realms of sound, silence, and rejuvenation. 📅 Date: Sunday 17th August 🕕 Time: kl. 16:30-19:30 📍 Location: Studio Celestine Åre, 311 Såå 83797 Åre 🍀 Investment: 450 kr Meet the Facilitators: Mateusz Krawiec Originally from South-West Poland and now residing in Sweden, Mateusz is a former lawyer who discovered his profound connection to the body, mind, and awareness.
